Early life and education

Jovenan was born on Rubicun III, the Edo homeworld. She was raised communally, common in her home region. She had a happy childhood, but as she grew up, she found she had no desire for intimate relations, an important aspect of Edo culture. While the other members of her community were accepting of her, she started to feel herself an outsider in her own culture. This roused her longing to leave Rubicun III.

In 2390, she was accepted to University of Hurkos Bachelor Programme in Planetary Sciences. Pending the permission of the Edo God and governance to leave the still partly isolationist planet, the university allowed her to participate in education remotely from Rubicun III. She excelled in her studies, and she was eventually allowed to leave for Hurkos III. The life in the campus was, however, too large a cultural shock for her, and she also faced harassment due to her culture. She faced mental difficulties, and her grades plummeted. Her community back home pleaded her to return, and she eventually agreed. She spent almost a year on Rubicun III before returning to Hurkos III to complete her remaining studies. This time she passed as human, which made it easier for her to concentrate on studying, and she graduated in 2395.

Starfleet Academy

After graduation from the University of Hurkos, she became interested in Starfleet and the possibility to explore strange new worlds. She joined the Starfleet Academy in 2395. Her decision to major in science had been obvious to her before applying to the Academy. Already having a degree in Planetary Science, she chose to broaden her skill set and specialize in something new to her, namely astronomy and xenobiology. She completed a minor in Communications and Operations. She didn’t actively hide her being an Edo anymore, but with so many humans around, very few had reason to think she wasn’t one too. She had almost perfect record in sciences but struggled with the mandatory combat and piloting courses.

She completed Starfleet Academy final examination at the Starbase 118 Campus. The examination was supervised by training officer Commander Genkos Adea, assisted by Lieutenant Commander Wil Ukinix. She assumed the role of the science officer of USS Centris-A during an away mission on Durosa, where they had received a distress call.

USS Excalibur-A

The Trouble With Tacos (Excalibur)

Jovenan was assigned to USS Excalibur-A, a Vesta class explorer. She first boarded the ship just before it left Deep Space 224 for a diplomatic mission. Since the senior officers were occupied with the important meeting, Jovenan's introduction to the ship had to be postponed until after the meeting. The ship ended up facing difficulties, during which Jovenan offered her assistance. She worked with Chief Science Officer Etan Iljor and Counsellor Seta Jinean to analyse the pathogen that had infected visiting ambassadors. After the sudden departure of the CSO, Counsellor Seta requested Jovenan to take the lead of the scientific endeavor.

Working together with Counsellor Seta, Jovenan created a program that tested their hypothesis by subjecting holographic copies of the cells of the targeted individuals to the pathogen. She also took a blood sample from Counsellor Gott. The blood sample analysis provided them with information that could help them device a cure to the pathogen to avoid future incidents. Jovenan presented their findings to Doctor Genkos Adea, with whom she carried on to work in order to find the cure and analyse the pathogen.
